Kendrick Lamar is in the running for Entertainer of the Year, a category that also includes Cynthia Erivo, Keke Palmer, Kevin Hart, and Shannon Sharpe.

The NAACP Image Awards honor achievements in music, TV, film, books, and podcasts. Ayo Edebiri and Keke Palmer also scored four nominations each. Edebiri earned three for her role in The Bear and one for her appearance on Saturday Night Live. Palmer’s nominations include hosting Password, voice-acting in The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, and her podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer.
